Gerard Pique and Shakira were one of the most popular and loved couples in the footballing community. Therefore, when the two announced their split back in 2022, it came as a shock to everyone. The former Barcelona defender and Champions League winner was accused of betraying his then partner by media outlets. The two decided to part ways in June 2022, and while Pique has found a new partner, Shakira has remained without one.
Following their split, Shakira has shifted her focus back to music and has produced multiple albums in recent years. Her latest work, titled ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ translates to ‘Women no longer cry’. While appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she did not hold back from taking digs at her ex-partner. She shifted the blame to Pique, claiming that he held her back from producing music.
I didn't have time because of the husband factor. Now I'm husbandless. Yeah, he was dragging me down and now I'm free. Now, I can actually work.Shakira on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
She also took clear digs at Pique in multiple songs in her latest album, one of which she elaborated on at Jimmy Fallon’s show. Shakira said that the lyrics ‘Surely with time you’ll regret it’ was aimed at Pique.
